TFC Improved Badlands Mod matters if you want TerraFirmaCraft badlands to feel less flat and more climate-driven. Instead of treating every badlands area as the same dry, sandy biome, it changes terrain generation based on rainfall, creating smoother transitions between harsh badlands, sand dunes, and more humid ground with grass, dirt, and rocks.
Key Features
- Reworks badlands generation so these biomes behave more like regular biomes in drier areas.
- Shifts humid badlands terrain away from constant sand and sandstone, replacing it with grass, dirt, and rock-based ground.
- Adds gradual biome blending, with the terrain transition centered at 115 rainfall.
- Generates sand dunes when rainfall drops low enough, making dry badlands visually distinct.
- Lets you configure the rainfall thresholds that control dunes, standard badlands generation, and biome transition behavior.
- Supports custom world generation styles by allowing players to fine-tune how sharply or smoothly badlands change with climate.
